To the outside world, Spencer Harris seemed to have it all. She was living her dream as a singer, selling out concerts around the world, but she's been keeping a secret for much longer than she'd ever planned. On her 28th birthday, Spencer decides that she's coming out, but she has no idea of the serendipitous events happening all around her that will eventually lead her right back to the woman she thought she'd lost.
The MCs originally meet online and now years later Spencer needs a new manager to help her come out and of course it's Kailey she chooses. They start to get close except they don't know it's their long lost internet soulmate they are falling for again. How damn cute is that? This was such a fast read since it was mostly dialogues with very few descriptions and internal monologues.
A pretty uncomplicated story. No real drama or backlashes or anything like that. Singer/songwriter Spencer Harris is famous and at age 28 wants to start living a more "authentic" her aka come out to the world. She hires Kailey to do this. They share a bit of past which is kinda cute. Like I said its a pretty easy read and a cute one. Nothing bad happens for long. Available on kindleUnlimited
I'm not really up for writing a review for this one, which isn't really fair considering my rating is slightly off the current norm, but things are the way they are.
I can't really put the finger on why exactly I didn't gobble this up and love it. I mean, it's really a story I should have finished in one sitting, but I kept taking longish breaks. Still read it in one day, because it is super short, but still. It is unfortunate about my inability to articulate my issues with the book.
Well, I know there's the massive consumption of alcohol, to the point I fear the singer one will not reach age 29 (she's 28 at the moment); both consume alcohol, though, as if they learned alcohol was just about to be banned and they wanted to get as much into their system before then as they can.
There were some scenes that read well - that I felt like stuff occurred in front of me, but then there were scenes where I was literally told something had occurred - important 'somethings' but we, the readers, were just told in passing.
Then there were the scenes where each character just had to make comment, to themselves, about hair color. 'She brushed her blonde hair back', 'she pulled her long dark hair up her body' - and occasionally the hair belonged to the woman doing the action (as in her own hair), and occasionally the hair belonged to the other main character. I'm not sure what that was about. Thinking about how a specific hair color interacts with light, the sun, stage lights, whatever, is one thing (her golden hair sparkled in the sun; vs just mentioning moving own hair - why the bloody hell would someone think to themselves 'I brushed my golden blond hair backwards and put it into a ponytail', instead of just saying 'I pulled my hair back into a ponytail' (if mention of hair is deeply needed). It's the characters own bloody hair. Was she surprised? That can happen. 'As I pulled my hair back into a . . wait, why, pulls the hair up to the light and starred at it. How long have I had blonde hair? I do not remember having blonde hair. This amnesia is really annoying.' 'I dyed my hair purple for the sporting event.' 'My hair was beginning to grey so I tried some hair products. My hair is now blue. Why is my hair blue? It's supposed to be *picks up glasses, adjusts them, reads box* oh. This is blue hair dye.' Otherwise why describe to yourself what color your hair is?
I've lost track as to what I wanted or didn't want to say.
I loved this book. I liked how the characters interact with each and i loved how they were supposed to meet years ago and just by change they ended up together anyway. I would recommend this book to anyone. I look forward to reading the next book.

There wasn't anything I specifically hated about this book, it was just simply boring. I had little interest in what was happening to characters especially since at times important events where just simply mentioned in passing after the fact.
None of this would ever happen in real life, it's completely in the realms of fantasy - but there's nothing wrong with that. Also it's short and to the point which I always enjoy.
Can't really give it more than 3 stars as it's not a full story, but then again I didn't pay full price for it.
